Tips found randomly:
- magnets (don't work with plastic rollers)
- towel under rollers (too much heat for plastic rollers)
- second belt between front and read rollers (any ideas what material to use to making it slower?)
- super slow tyre with low pressure (should give some watts but not much)
btw. the super slow tyre is only necessary for the rear wheel, right?

Any better options? I would really appreciate!
overtighten the bearings? Should work on the tacx. You probably need new bearings sooner though...
